Found this on sale at the local grocery store. It says it's a blend of their Black Hawk Stout and Eye of the Hawk Ale. It poured a dark mahogony color but the head quickly dissapated. It looked good but at first sip I couldn't tell what it wanted to be. I've had stout/IPA's before with great success but this one is too sweet and the ale just didn't lend enough flavor to offset the stout. Since it is a blended beer it was hard to tell. Overall not a great choice but I'm sure it's better from the tap. Never heard of Mendocino Brewing Company before so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
